A context of crisis

Flooding Emergency response in Kenya

A total of 38 of the country’s 47 districts have been affected by the floods. 235,000 people have been displaced. Families and homes have been destroyed and communities have been torn apart by the floods. An emergency response team has been deployed to respond to the floods in Nairobi and other project activities in Kenya.

Our team is on the field, working tirelessly to provide emergency relief and support to those affected by the floods. But we can’t do it alone – we need your help.

Let’s act now to relieve those who suffer in silence
